We're open to suggestions for a hotel - one that has a good bar and sells food

I'll run a Discworld themed quiz, for which there will be prizes, and I'm always happy to talk about anything DW related

I will ask Rob and Terry if they can talk to us on Skype as well, and see if we can arrange a reading from Snuff, Terry's next book

Terry does want to visit South Africa, so this would also be a good time to talk about a full South African Convention - where and when to hold it, put together a preliminary committee, that sort of thing

So, please can you all publicise this to any South Africans you know (I don't think there are any on this board) and feel free to post this on any other DW or TP boards out there

He willnae tak' a drink! I think he's deid! , on the other hand though A Midgie in yir hand is worth twa up yir kilt.

Sounds good WWD. There are quite a few ex-pats in Cape Town so I reckon it would be a great venue. Its a lovely city as well (at least it was when I visited in the 90's) and my second favourite, after Istanbul.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

I was there in 1986 before tourism really took off and it got commercial. The vibrant atmosphere, food, and people were amazing as was the culture and historical sites. Unfortunately, I haven't been back since so I don't know what its like now, but I'm still wearing the same leather jacket that a shop keeper there gave me and which has just had its twenty-fifth birthday (it's looking incredibly tatty now and only just fits). Working on the cruise ships, I had the opportunity to visit many fabulous places and Istanbul tops the list for me. (btw, wild horses wouldn't drag me back to the Caribbean again, the Islands vie with each other for the bottom of my list).

It's still as much fun Penners, I was there first in 1987. I took the train all the way from Crewe which was certainly interesting in itself going through what was then the communist strongholds in eastern Europe. I went back last year, this time by plane, and loved it.
